"This recipe must be wrong. How can you get cookie dough consistency with all that butter, powdered sugar and only 1/2 tsp of flour? Could the flour and cornstarch be mixed up in the print? This felt like frosting. I tried to cook it anyway and I had a pan of melted butter and sugar. Yuck."

"Instead of pepermint extract I would use almond extract. Maybe even add a little in the batter."
